EXCELLENT!There are lots of optical illusions to try out in this amazing little pack! I like all of them so much I can't tell you which is my favourite.Emily, 19th April 2014

AWESOME!I have these and they are perfect for my science fair project with my partner, they give you the answer as to why this illusion bothers the human mind and our scientific question is how do optical illusions influence the brain.ScienceFairGal, 3rd January 2011

Help with links

Problem with a link?

Websites do occasionally experience problems. If a link isn't working we recommend leaving it a while and trying again. If the site is still down the following day please report the problem using our contact form. We will fix the problem as soon as possible, or find an alternative link.

Can't see any links?

If this is the first time you have used Usborne Quicklinks and you can't see ANY links, you may need to adjust your web browser settings. To find out how to do this, see Help & Advice.

Missing link?

The links in Usborne Quicklinks may vary slightly from those described in your book because when a website closes down, or we find a better site, we update the links in Quicklinks. (If we remove any of your favourite sites let us know!)
